I’m building my 1979 CB750L into a scrambler. This is my first bike and have been doing mounds and mounds of research learning as much as I can and planning a roadmap for the build. But by far, the most dizzying aspect of the build has been figuring out what to do for suspension. I want to to...

Where does it go please help ?

I have a 82 honda cb 750 nighthawk. The metallic blue is a nice color. I have a new tank and want it to match. Where can I get paint to match so I don't end up with a black tank. Could I use the paint code? I wouldn't know where to find it.

82 cb750sc Nighthawk.. I was trying to get my tail lights working and saw smoking after replacing the old round fuses. Now every time I try to hook up the battery, the fuse blows at the solenoid. All I have done is put new fuses in the fuse box and put a brake master cylinder on it. Maybe I have...

So I have a nighthawk and see very little on here about these. It has sit for 29 years and I got it running. But I'm looking for rear shocks and maybe a different front suspension. Does anyone know the rear shock specs and will parts interchange between this model and the s/f/k bikes?

I have a '82 750 nighthawk The gas tank was rusted and the previous owner tried to line it and it didn't go well. I tried to get it sandblasted and it exposed a ton of pinholes. Where could I find a tank? I haven't found any online. I'm pretty sure nothing will interchange. How would I even go...

Hi all, I'm looking for the dimensions of the rear wheel and swing arm from a 1982 Honda CB750F. I want to compare the differences of the 750 rear wheel and swing arm dimensions with the rear wheel and swing arm from my '82 CB650SC as I'd like to see if they can be used to perform a rear disc...

Afternoon Friends, I've been stalking around the threads for similar info. I am mid restoration on an 82 CB750SC NH. Basically everything visible needs a facelift. I do not have the side covers/fairings. My questions are; -Will a side fairing of the same year, but from a CB650 fit on the...

Hello All, ...Its important to state for the record that i am not an experienced motorcycle mechanic... 82 cb750SC NH. Got the bike free from a friend. It sat in his garage for a year-ish. He cleaned up the carbs but didn't rebuild them. When I hauled it to my house, it wasn't running, carbs...

Does anyone have any good resources for information on the original exhaust for the '79-'83 CB750K? I'm specifically interested in the 1980 bike info. I'm seeing exhaust that are labeled, Sankei 2043, Sankei 2075. And it looks like HM425A is the correct fit. I don't want to accidentally buy an...

I bought an 82 cb750 nighthawk with 4,487 miles on it for $300. Hadn't been tagged since 03 so probably never had ethanol ran through it. Replaced the battery and spark plugs and it tries to idle with the choke on. Should I rebuild the carbs or just clean them? Any ideas that might help. I'm...

Hey folks, I've got a problem. After double checking all my wiring and being 110% it's all correctly connected, I think I have worked out why my neutral switch is not triggering the neutral light. As I understand it, when the end of the switch connects to the shift drum (when placed in the...

For my current build ( ‘79 Super Sport resto-mod ), I would like to limit the steering turning by about 1/2” on each side — this to allow enough clearance between controls mounted on the clip-on bars, and the gas tank, and prevent contact. Any suggestions out there ? Has anyone done or tried...

Hi all, can anyone tell me whether a 1980 CB750KZ DOHC (UK version) RC01 engine is the same as the 750K (North American version) RC01 engine? I’m looking to potentially take parts from one to another. Thanks.

Hey folks, got a question regarding a stock replacement oiled foam filter: the UNI NU-4046. Couldn't find any threads on it in this forum. This is for a buddy's 1980 CB750F, which has already been rendered not-original by multiple previous owners. It currently has a set of horrible cheap pod...

Hey folks. I have just rebuilt the top end of my 1982 CB750F supersport engine which included engine removal, flipping it over to remove the oil pan and reassembly. Although I didn't rebuild the oil pump when I flipped the engine some oil came out in the vicinity of the oil pump so I fear that...

Morning All, and Happy New Year. Please could I get help with worst possible problem (for me anyhow). I can ride my 1980 750 Custom sometimes, and everything is good. Battery spins the starter like crazy, and bike starts. Other times the battery is basically completely dead, and I have to push...

Now in the process of re-assembling my electrical, I have relocated some of the items: The two OKI spark units and the rectifier. Question: Do these units need to be insulated, or can I mount directly on the frame without insulation ? I am not sure if they use the frame's ground polarity to...

Restoring a 1977 CB750K on a budget. Wheel bearings are running $30-$50 on line (6304LU bearing) but I can get the 6304 2RS at Princess Auto for $7, same dimensions, 2RS indicating they are sealed on both sides. Is anyone using these bearings? They sure look and feel good
